Tomb of Chen Sheng
陈胜墓
The tomb park of Chen Sheng, leader of the uprising at Daze Township at the end of the Qin dynasty, and one of the sites linked to the famous line 'Are kings, nobles, generals and ministers born with special stock?'
In 209 BCE, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up at Daze Township and established the Zhang Chu regime. After their defeat, Chen Sheng was buried at Mangdang Mountain. The Records of the Grand Historian states that he was 'buried at Dang and posthumously named King Yin.' The tomb park lies on the southwestern foot of Mangdang Mountain's main peak and includes a burial mound, a stone stele and memorial sculptures. Guo Moruo inscribed the tombstone. The park is within the Mangdang Mountain Scenic Area and can be visited on the same day as the Han Liang King Tombs and the site where Liu Bang slew the white serpent.
